We too are in London 13 september-18th.
we are staying on Kinnerton Street in belgravia!
any suggestions about yarn and fabric (general, epecially dupioni silk)
stores in the vicinity?
it has been eons since i was last in London so i don't know anywhere
from anything about districts etc.
But it would be nice to shop for yarns for weaving, sewing, quilting
liturgical colors stuff (red, blue, green, white, purple)!

I was in London Last week, Liberty's not a patch on it's former self but
lots of cottons, John Lewis the same, but walk down Berwick street,on
the edge of Soho,two great shops for silks and 3 or 4 other fabric
shops,and loads of wholesale ribbon/ sequin type shops.The area is
perfectly safe by day, but full of strip clubs in that part at night.

You'd be lucky ..... nobody knits in London anymore ...if you're in to
cardmaking you might have a chance but not a lot else ...

Wow, not my experience at all, at all. Try John Lewis for fabric and
there are various little wool shops dotted around. One very good one
in Crystal Palace. . . .can't remember the name of it.
